Somewhat sweet, but with just a hint of a bite (some green chiles included). When I was back in CLE, I made it a little 'warmer' (added some freshly chopped jalapenos) for Browns' tailgating purposes. It goes nicely with the white chicken chili I make too ^

In IST enjoyed sitting on a restaurant on the river munching away looking across the coast, driving from Asia to Europe and back every day, and the conglomeration of cultures -- old and new, conglomeration of regions, etc.

Have fun rol:rolleyes:v!

Mexican cornbread recipe complete. Baking has commenced. No "mad scientist" explosions in the kitchen have occurred. At least not yet ;)

When it comes to cooking, I can't remember the last time I used a recipe, I make everything up as I go :D

oh actually I can remember, it was early Dec when I was showing a friend hot to make a molten chocolate fudge cake....when showing someone else always best to go by the book :D

Whether it be by recipe, or by "on the fly", there is something about making a dish by hand and having it turn out good, as opposed to pulling out a box... there are some things I can make w/o a recipe, with an admitted lack of focus (I'd try and figure out why, but I can't focus on the problem :rolleyes: ) I did bring out the cornbread recipe.

First meal of 2010 = WIN! :D OK, that's just IMHO... first time making hoppin' john brings good flavor, a little too much liquid. Cornbread is ^. Fine way to start the decade.

Is a 35 minute Schengen to non-Schenge connection in FRA possible? I'm trying to fix my BCN-BRU-LHR routing that includes 5 hours in BRU. I can see inventory for BCN-FRA-LHR but only 35 minutes in FRA. Bad idea, right?

that is exactly why you have cornbread, it will do a nice job soaking up that remaining liquid in the bowl after you are done, and meshes together so well!

quick question for the BD oracles in teh Box:

I will be doing my MSP-GEG MR next weekend. I'm looking at my itinerary and see several flights are operated by US Airways, but have a United flight number.

Will these flights be eligible for crediting the miles to BMI diamond club?

I set up a United Mileage Plus account and then added my diamond club membership number to the reservation. That should work, right?

US and UA are both *A carriers. You can certainly credit them to BD.
